In an overpopulated world an alarming number of approximately 230 000 humans are born daily. Africa makes a significant contribution to this gloomy situation.

Contraception: theory and practice is essentially targeted at the health professions, including doctors, students, pharmacists and nurses - especially in family planning clinics. However, anyone seeking information on contraception will also benefit from it. This textbook has been an established reference for many years.
